"Dilbert's Salary Theorem," based on the cartoon character Dilbert by Scott Adams, states that "Engineers and scientists can never earn as much as executives and salespersons."
The theorem is based on the following two well-known sayings: "knowledge is power," and "time is money."
From physics,
Power = Work/Time
but since it is given,
Knowledge = Power
Time = Money
therefore:
Knowledge = Work/Money
Solving for Money, thus
Money = Work/Knowledge
Therefore, as Knowledge approaches zero, Money approaches infinity, regardless of the amount of work done.
Thus: The less you know, the more you make.
